Circles on Door Windows When Steaming up?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Hi Everyone, I got model 3 in November I wondered if anyone has any experience with some strange circles on their door windows? I originally thought it was no big deal from some grips used in the factory, but I have tried to clean it multiple times with glass cleaner and im not getting anywhere? I have scheduled service now but its not until the end of January!

Appreciate any ideas!!

Looks like suction cup marks during assembly or could be marks left by UFO’s 😜
 
Dont get annoyed that tesla should fix it / have a better process?

No. Just about all glass is this way. Not limited to cars (and not unique to Tesla).

I noticed it on my new windows on my home, my shower glass, and even my aquarium (large, had to be moved by suction cups).

Just a slight amount on rubber or fluid leftover used to ensure suction when picking up glass panels that weigh 100s of pounds.

As a previous poster mentioned, you can easily polish them out if it bothers you.
